Keil uVision development environment has an interface you to install 3rd party DLLs to simulate specific HW components. Keil LCD extension is such a DLL to simulate an LCD controller which is quite similar to Toshiba’s T6963C controller. When you install this DLL, you can view the “virtual LCD” on your PC; as you view the serial port, timers, and I/O ports. A sample view of this “virtual LCD” is shown here for this extension. So in short, Keil LCD extension is an LCD simulator which runs on your PC, and has nothing to do with the actual micro. It just helps you to design and debug your LCD or user interface code, much much more faster, since it does not need a real micro, LCD to run.
